If you've put the evolution subdirectory back into your /home/yournamehere directory, you should su to root, then do: chown -R mylogin:mylogin evolution ...this would then change the permissions to YOUR permissions; once you've done that, then fire up Evolution again. I'm assuming that when you backed up Evo you did back up that entire subdirectory structure, yes? A trick I use to make Evo run a tad bit faster is to put the evolution subdirectory structure on a faster drive (SCSI) and create a link to it from my /home/mynamehere directory - this also makes for doing great automagic backups without disturbing other bits'n'bobs...
That was my first thought and I did a chmod to the evo directory without much luck, chown didn't help either. I tried removing evo and downloading again, but things just got worse; every time I clicked on the Summary icon, evo crashed.
I tried using rpm -e to remove the package but the message was "the package is not installed". When I used rpm -i to install, it says that it's there and up to date. The evolution binary is missing from the /usr/bin directory.
I'm a little puzzled as to what I should do next.
